When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro

I can see Konami saying "the future of gaming is mobile" more in the context of people having a Konami pokie machine in their pocket.

Yah the decision is motivated by greed and its a cruel business decision for us all but if they have no passion in video games then meh, I don't want their games.

I'd take 2-3 new studio's coming out of Konami than just Konami being Konami any day of the week.

@IRetroUK
And no mention of what Sega have done to Sonic either. This is a rare treat.

Yeah I'm in that boat. I lived in London for a few years and I'm only interested in seeing how close the map will be to the actual city.

Even still, I ain't buying it for probably a few years anyways.

Yeah it doesn't make much sense to me for those same reasons. I can get how a Zelda hack n' slash can work with Zelda like Hyrule Warriors did but not a Dark Souls like game.

Permadeath is still optional. The short summary on this page is misleading.

I like both Western and JRPG's.

Doesn't excuse the strange cultural behavior they have towards women. It's not uncommon for men to grope women on public transport over there. You don't get that in China or Korea.

Great article. Sonic is very much a product of its own time really isn't it. I don't think anyone can create a new Sonic game that would have the impact they did back then.

In saying that though Sonic Generations was a good game minus the 3d levels. Sonic Ep 4 less so. They just didn't nail the movement at all. The jump was so floaty.

None. Remakes or new games please.

How did this site even get past the screening process. Fours clicks to read a paragraph of the same game with the text squished in by ads?

Its a shame because I'm sure the game list would've been informative.

Meh, I'm ok with remasters. Not everyone has played all these games so if re-mastering allows people with newer consoles to experience some old games they missed the first time around then that's a good thing.

Yeah the MegaCD was ok. But it was way too expensive when it came out way back when.

Vey was a great RPG that isn't mentioned in the article. I'd recommend that if you like turn based JRPG's.

I'd say apart from the 3DS its just gone out of fashion.

I like them, but I will admit that the biggest problem with them is when you become overpowered and just end up button mashing the same button for attack.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a great example of a modernised turn based mechanic.

"it would be nice if some of these devs started putting the focus of blame where it belongs, and that's more often than not the publisher. "

And bite off the hand that feeds? That doesn't make good business sense. Shipping unfinished games doesn't either but they would have made earnings from pre-orders anyways and can always patch later.

"If a dev can't hack it, and won't be able to get the game done in time...like way way ...

The soundtrack for that PS Road Rash game is probably one of the best examples of a game using bands from the same era to create a great soundtrack.

Right up there with Wipeout and Tony Hawk 1.

I think the key thing in this article that was mentioned was how performance was better without an internet connection.

Single player games just don't need it. Whenever I play any Ubi game I usually disconnect my system from the internet because of uPlay bullshit. An unnecessary feature for the user. Its more for Ubi to gain market research.

Agreed. RDR was the death of it for me. After that I couldn't tolerate it much.

Enough with the zombies!

I hate Halo, but Reach is ok for some weird reason. The space flight mission is where its at.

God I wish I didn't click on this. Just a top ten from Metacritic rather than someones personal thoughts on the matter. 0/10
